I got tired of seeing trump face everywhere and a kind user by the name of SubArcticTundra shared his keyword based block list as images. I wrote them down and am sharing them with anyone else that is tired of constantly seeing USA politics on his feed.
it should work on sync, Connect and eternity since they have keyword based filtering . Voyager , liftoff and jerboa don’t have this feature (yet).
here’s the list in text format for direct use on connect (i didn’t use some of the keywords he shared to minimize collateral damage on actual world news posts that may be interesting ) :
gop, jan, maga, representatives, congress, biden, trump, desantis, far right, alt-right, democrat, democrats, republican, republicans
It may not work 100% of the time but it should drastically decrease the constant spam of political news / trump pictures.
Thank you! I feel like I’ve been playing non-stop whack-a-mole trying to block all the news communities from my feeds!
Welcome. Lemmy became almost unbearable to browse recently and especially these two days. Glad i could find a solution. Again, thanks to the user i mentioned above for the tip and the blocklist. He’s the true hero.
It’s going to get worst because next year is a election year. I just block all of the big politics communities.
I like the recent meme pictures but am getting tired of the contstant political chatter
Or just use the subscribed feed
Even memes are polluted. There’s no escape.
If you subscribe to a memes community, you deserve what you get.
I have never understood why people would like Lemmy and then look at any feed other than subscribed. You might as well use mastodon if just a free flow of posts is your thing. I do like the list of keywords though for those rare occasions I look at the universal feed.
Few of the communities that I care about have made it to Lemmy and those who have are pretty barren. The All feed is the only way for me to actually use Lemmy
Discovering new communities ?
